Ingredients
  

1 package of pre-made cinnamon roll dough (or make your own)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon milk (for glaze, optional)

Fresh strawberries and pecans for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: If using pre-made cinnamon roll dough, follow the package instructions. If making from scratch, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

      Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

        Add Strawberries and Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped strawberries and pecans evenly over the cream cheese filling.

          Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkling this mixture over the filling will add depth to the flavor.

            Roll the Dough: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal.

              Cut into Rolls: Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.

                Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

                  Make the Glaze: While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a tablespoon of milk until it's a smooth consistency. Adjust to desired thickness by adding more milk or sugar.

                    Glaze the Rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

                      Garnish with Fresh Ingredients: Top the rolls with additional chopped strawberries and pecans for decoration and added flavor.

                          Presentation Tips: Serve warm on a large platter lined with parchment paper, and garnish with a few whole strawberries and a sprinkle of extra chopped pecans for a beautiful touch. Enjoy with freshly brewed coffee or tea for a perfect dessert or brunch option!
